I spent 4 hours trying to figure out if a comedian I liked had been cancelled

Honestly, I saw a clip from a 2018 special and thought it was funny, but then a friend said that guy had some big controversy. I started googling and fell into this rabbit hole of old tweets, apology videos, and forum threads. It took me like 4 hours just to piece together what even happened and if people still support him. Ngl, it felt like doing detective work for a job I didn't sign up for. Has anyone else wasted a whole evening like this just trying to figure out if someone's career is over?

What comedian was it? I got stuck in that same loop last year with a podcast host. Now I just check if they're still putting out new stuff on their main socials. If they're quiet for a year, that's your answer. Saved me a ton of pointless digging.

That one-year rule from @gavina73 is solid, I give it six months for podcasters before I assume they're done.

Nah, I actually love the detective work, it's half the fun of finding new stuff.
